Clean Air for Brighton & Hove

"Any measures that will improve #AirQuality we obviously welcome but this will make a really small difference...we really urge the council to take action that will make more of a difference." It is unacceptable to idle engines in 2024. #Health @ITV itv.com/news/meridian/…

We are calling on Brighton Council to: 1.⁠ ⁠Tackle toxic air pollution 2.⁠ ⁠Support national clean air policies 3.⁠ ⁠Launch a Clean Air Pilot Scheme on Lewes Road in Brighton

Walk with us on #CleanAir Day this Thursday 19th June at 5:30pm in #Brighton and #Hove from the Royal Sussex County Hospital to Brighton Town Hall to highlight the importance of clean air #AirQuality #AirPollution

Cars and vans are the biggest source of toxic chemicals in our air ☁️ This #CleanAirDay, sign our petition to call on our next government to ensure everyone can travel in ways that are better for our health and the planet 🌍 ⬇️ cleanairhub.org.uk/clean-air-day

14 months since @BHLabour’s pledge to tackle air pollution, yet we still have some of the UK's worst levels. With promises unfulfilled it's time for action. A blog post. cleanairbh.com/blog/LabourMan… #AirPollution #Brighton & #Hove #AirQuality @BHLabour

Amazing! Last month's Kidical Mass here was the second largest in the UK, beaten only by Manchester (population 570k). Well done to everyone who took part, the organisers and the wonderful marshals. @Bricycles @BrightonBikeHub @OSRBikeTrain @cleanairbh & BMWCC

Sixty years since Silent Spring and glyphosate - which we know is poison, and causes infertility, and which "probably" causes cancer, and devastates wildlife - is still used throughout the the UK. theguardian.com/environment/ar…

It is possible to improve air quality; cities can fight air pollution and protect health. @WHO It is not easy and requires courage. Listen to the powerful intervention of @MayorofLondon @SadiqKhan.@PontAcadLife #Breathelife2030 @ourcommonair @c40cities @COP29_AZ

Wood burners fill Brighton air with some of UK’s worst pollution brightonandhovenews.org/2024/05/07/woo…

“I thought replacing my central heating with wood burners would be romantic – it’s a nightmare”inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyl…

An article: cleanairbh.com/blog/ASmokeCon… #Brighton has some of the highest PM2.5 #AirPollution & lacks a full Smoke Control Area. A complete phase out of wood & coal burning is probably the best solution but not feasible in the short term so we ask again for a full Smoke Control area.

Wood & coal #burning can worsen health #Brighton & #Hove has the worst pm2.5 #AirPollution in the UK Let's declare a full Smoke Control Area NOW to prevent pollution induced #asthma & #heartdisease Newcastle can, why not us @Rowkz? newcastle.gov.uk/citylife-news/…

#AirQuality is also a human right & a housing standard @BHLabour & @BellaSankey’s city plan is building homes on the most polluted roads where #AirPollution is 4x @WHO guidelines Declare a Clean Air Zone immediately to mitigate pollution induced #Asthma #HeartDisease

It is also important and relevant to note that #Brighton & #Hove is the largest city in the country without a full smoke control area. @rowkz, @BellaSankey and @bhlabour - we urge you to declare a full zone without any further delay. @bhcitynews

Interesting and positive! Business groups asking politicians to reduce emissions! Belgian 🇧🇪 insurer urges politicians to strengthen low emission zones. ⁦@c40cities⁩ ⁦@ourcommonair⁩ #breathelife2030 theguardian.com/environment/20…

Belgium's mutual health insurer @MutLibres has been investigating the country's three low emission zones #LEZ (#Brussles, #Antwerp, #Ghent) to see if they are improving #airpollution for its members. My latest piece for @guardian. theguardian.com/environment/20…
